ROMANIA

Romania is an agriculturally rich region that has enjoyed steady progress since overthrowing its communist regime in 1989. Its Black Sea coastlines have become a popular tourism destination while the Carpathian Mountains tower over the west.

Beginning in 1947, Romania became an independent communist state with a highly oppressive regime. The secret police were among the most ruthless and invasive in Eastern Europe. Under communist rule, the Church faced widespread persecution. Christians endured forced labor, torture, exile, and even death. 

In December 1989, a swift and bloody revolution swept through Romania following the government’s attempted ousting of pastor László Tőkés in Timișoara. Protests turned into riots that eventually led to the arrest and execution of President Nicolae Ceaușescu on Christmas Day. 

Since the fall of communism, a significant revival has swept through Romania. The pain endured by so many Christians has set the stage for an amazing new chapter in the Church’s history and you can be a part of it.

Today, there are nearly 6,000 churches established across the country. With Europe’s fourth largest evangelical population, Romania has become a strategic focus for missions agencies who are planting churches in the country’s unchurched villages. Still, 67,000 people remain completely unreached within Romania and countless communities are still without a local church.

I'm now in my 10th year of being an Oral Strategy Communication Specialist with e3 Partners Ministry!  I also have served as a trainer for Bible story projects with StoryRunners, a ministry of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ). I have completed 6 of these one month long trainings!          

We continue to press on towards our goal, a world where the body of Christ and its life-saving message are available to every person - in a culturally appropriate way whether they are literate or illiterate. 

You can partner with me at e3 Partners Ministry to help develop culturally appropriate oral Bible stories in the languages of unreached people around the world to accelerate evangelism, discipleship, leader development and church planting among them.

Our Oral Strategy Project a 18 month project to develop 42+ Bible stories in peoples' language and cultural expression which will provide the scripture needed to best impact these people groups and result in many multiplying churches.

We also offer week-long trainings in Plano, Texas and throughout the United States for those churches/organizations who see the necessity of using Bible stories to reach the unreached in their own communities. With the number of refugees who are now calling the United States as their home, Bible stories are a great way to develop relationships with them in a way that they understand and appreciate which leads to spiritual conversations and commitment.


Every gift makes an impact for the Kingdom of God!

Until the whole world hears!"

Over 75% of the world communicates orally through verbal storytelling, drama, and song. Conveniently, over 70% of the Bible consists of stories. Jolene helps train international ministry leaders in how to use chronological Bible stories to evangelize, disciple, train leaders and plant churches.

Besides international trips to train people in Bible storying, she helps lead national trainings for churches and ministries who are interested in using this strategy in their communities and ministries.

Previously Jolene was on staff with Global Aid Network (GAiN), the humanitarian arm of Cru, for 9 years.  She helped lead teams of volunteers to many countries to distribute aid and share the gospel in orphanages, prisons, hospitals and other facilities.

Since 1996, she has gone to 15+ countries sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and now training believers to share Bible stories in their homes, villages and communities. 

Funds raised through this account go towards expenses to train the internationals as well as Jolene's ministry/travel expenses for future trips.
